A Walk in Nature Cards

 Hello Paper Artists

Here are my other 2 cards

It is interesting to see that Trish used the same selected papers  - you can see 2 different versions of them - just a fluke.  The fronts of the cards use 1 of the papers in the Journal 10x7" collection.

The 1st card has the image fussy cut, inked around the edges & simply attached to the front of the card with a jute twine through the hole in the top of the image. The cardstock is khaki - 2 papers in my stash from forever ago.

Inside the card are 2 ephemera - one being used as a tuck spot. 

Jute twine is knotted through a hole punched in the other

This is the other half of the Journal paper. 

This one is fussy cut, mounted on ivory cardstock & then onto the khaki one.  

The inside of the card is embellished with 2 of the Cut & Creates

Very simple cards which could be embellished further if you wish

A Walk in Nature Cards

 Hello Paper Artists

After finishing my Nature Album, I decided to do some cards. I do not do them very often but needed to get my feet wet again.

Here are the first 2.  Both used  2 of the 10x7" album papers which were cut in half.

The 1st card used an image from the first paper.

The image was inked on the edges - frayed burlap & attached to the cream ivory card. I used a  scrap cardstock & cut to fit the image to 4.25" wide x 11.5" high - it opens up. A piece of jute twine was tied across the top & the bird was lacquered.

I always embellish the inside of my cards - this one used 2 ephemera & I die cut a tag. All 3 pieces were inked & 1 ephemera was used as a pocket. The pocket & the tag have also been embellished with the same jute twine.

The 2nd card is also very simple. The green 10x7" paper was cut in half - the 1 piece that had the leaves was used on the front.  A piece of green organza ribbon was tied around the fold of the sage cardstock & tied in a knot.  The card measures 51/4 x 7.5"

The other half of the 10x7" paper is used on the inside front of the card

A pocket was made from the cardstock; a Cut & Create was tucked into the pocket & a loose knot glued to the front of the pocket

I hope these 2 cards give you some ideas on how the

background album papers 10x7" can be used on cards

The next blog post has 2 more cards from the same collection

My Nature Inspired Journal

 Hello everyone & welcome.

Today I have a design team post to share with you. I have created a journal with the latest patterned papers from Meg's Garden Etsy Store.

The paper collection that I have used is called A Walk with Nature Journal #498 & A Walk with Nature Cut & Creates #499 .

So whether you are a nature lover or not these delightful papers are a must have for any journal maker.

The papers come in earthy shades of cream, rust, orange, brown and touches of green perfect for a vintage style journal creation. 

The cut & create sheets have beautiful images that are perfect as ephemera pieces to cut out and use in tuck spots & pockets or to embellish a page or the cover of your journal.

These papers are also ideal for cards or off the page projects. 

My journal measures: 14.5cm x 19cm. It contains one signature with 66 pages & has a soft cover.

I have created a flip through video:

I hope you find some inspiration in my latest creation.

Until next time.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I hope you have a wonderful day & happy creating.

Leanne💗
